really great cut, and material.

...but much thicker cotton than I expected for a "summer" shirt. Was this really worn under a service coat in hot weather? More like to wear over a tee on a cool day.

Oh yes, I would like to recommend that future runs of the cotton khaki shirts be made up in the late war 5 oz material for hot weather comfort''s sake. These are made in the early war 8 oz cotton and are durable alright, but are hot to wear and when starched are stiffer than should be. I default to the poplin shirt due to this. The War Department Went from 8 oz to 6 oz and finally to 5 oz for this reason, discovering that the pre-war reasoning wihich demanded a highly durable garment did not apply to a war time use. And most of the time you were not allowed to roll up your sleeves, either! Boy, would I like a set of these shirts in 5 oz cotton khaki. That and as I said in an earlier post, a narrower body sizing would save a lot of work on everyone. I''m just glad I can sew and can give instructions to an alterations man. Great quality shirts though, I have several for fear we won''t be able to get these things for the rest of your lives.
